Route 17 Becomes Kolkata’s First Chinese Cafe Open Till Midnight

Kolkata, July 10, 2016: In a city that witnesses births of cafe’s every month, Route 17 down Dr.Sarat Banerjee road takes a different “route” of existentialism by becoming Kolkata’s first Chinese cafe that’s open till midnight.

Renowned actress Mumtaz Sorcar launched Route 17 on Thursday July 7 and was seen going gaga over her experience.“I love the interiors and decor of this place because it’s the perfect ambience for a good ‘adda’ session with friends after a hard day at work. The fact that Route 17 remains open till midnight is another great feature; just right to fulfill those midnight food cravings! ”

The informal atmosphere of converting a home to a cafe is perhaps the biggest USP of this cafe.The decor amalgamates new-age knickknacks like driftwood lighting and bamboo with carved wrought iron furniture, snazzy music, jute linings and a projector .

The 44 seater eatery has been divided into four dining zones –

*Guests can sit in the main dining area which is dotted with retro-vintage looking wrought iron furniture for a formal lunch.

*A section devoted to high stools if one wants to enjoy a private meal alone.

*For a personalized informal dining, one can move to the lane area with a cosy sitting arrangement.

*And finally the cabana area that symbolizes a dewan, to hang out with friends.

What’s more? Route 17 even has its own little private library for bookworms to read while enjoying their meal.
